Remember by adding glass (the adapter) to the front of the 50mm - you have changed the position of the entrance pupil. If you had accounted for that and physically moved the camera back, (so the front of the adapter was inline with the position of the entrance pupil of the 35mm lenses, your angles of view would have been closer.
@@calebbrunkow xD true. just a thought but have you considered putting an anamorphic adapter on it, like 1.35x or something, it'd give a wider field of view plus the benefits of the anamorphic bokeh 👏 👏 your video made me want to try it on one of my lenses when I get home lol edit: just remembered that probably wouldn't fit the goal of the adapter exactly but still a cool idea lol
I have the G.L optics 35mm T1.2 with the wide angle adapter… have you been inspired by that one? It has a HUGE wide angle adapter but you still get wonky corners … unfortunately. I confirmed the "no transmission loss" on a Tstop machine in our Rehousing episode
@@calebbrunkow Thanks Caleb, happy to hear that! Your approach works just fine for the usual Joe, but even the huge G.L adapter doesn't really cut it when you are looking for something to produce with. I wish I went with the concave for rehousing.
I actually figured out the 18-X with the canon adapter TLS rehoused for Camera rentals in amsterdam, its the smallest option after rehousing and 100% canon glass. TLS offers to do the 18X with the angenieux optimo adapter without you having to source it as they have them remade now. Zero does the 18+ with there own wideangle adapter as well I dont know what he uses. Anyway one adapter may work really well on one lens and be terrible on another so it is a hit and miss. Put them floating in front of the lens instead of moving with the lens can give better iq overall and if you end up rehousing can help keep the front smaller. Backfocus changes when you do his though so you might not get as wide as you think you are in some cases if you correct for it. So you really need the right combination.
So, if you want to build the 18mm FD-X the wide angle you should be using an Angenieux x0.75 (hard to get an quite expensive) or a Zunow x0.75, which is more affordable (still kind of expensive) and you can get it through Duclos.

Didn’t know that! Really appreciate the insight Daniel, you’re always a wealth of knowledge
the lens looked sick with the second adapter, flares too 👏
Love how it looked! Just need a better way to set it up so it’s actually usable lol

@allen_bernardo_jr that would be super cool! Anamorphic adapters are always fun

Yeah! Your video inspired me to experiment with this. Really enjoyed that video of yours Nikolas

@@calebbrunkow BTW…… dying lamps… a classic!
@MediaDivision that’s great to know, I eventually want to rehouse my set someday so I will be sure to keep that in mind
Guess I forgot to charge my little Aputure MC’s lol
This is sick! Great video Caleb
Thanks Joe! Really appreciate it

Appreciate the insight! I knew about the Angenieux one but didn’t hear about the other one, thanks!
great! thanks for the video!
You’re welcome, so glad you enjoyed it!
Could you provide a link to the adapters? I’d like to try this.
Yes! I’ll add it to the description, I can’t seem to get a link on the eBay app for a search
Even just a model number works be great. There are so many different adapters on eBay.
@timmygebhard I usually just searched “century optics .7x wide angle adapter” on eBay
Do you know if I could get my Canon FD 85mm f1.2L rehoused? It has a bad aperture but is gem mint.
If the optics are good I don’t see why they couldn’t rehouse it. They usually replace the aperture anyway with a rehousing
